Workshop participants will learn to end the "blame game" in their organizations and how to focus on agreement management rather than conflict management. Instructor Melanie Hoffner will give insight and teach strategies to improve responsibility, empowerment, accountability and the use of "clear agreements."

The workshop cost is $249 per person. UNI Alumni Association members receive a 10-percent discount. Businesses can purchase a consortium membership for $995, which entitles the business to five seats to any of the 2011 management training workshops. Half-day workshops count as a half seat. After the five seats are used, additional seats can be purchased at a discounted rate of $175 per person.
